Yankees Interested In Jeremy Bonderman

By Mike Axisa | January 4, 2011 at 8:14pm CDT

The Yankees have been on the lookout for pitching since losing out on Cliff Lee, and that search has led them to Jeremy Bonderman. Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports reports that they have interest in the right-hander according to a Major League source.

Bonderman, still just 28, posted a 5.53 ERA with a 5.9 K/9 and 3.2 BB/9 in 171 innings for the Tigers last season. He's battled significant shoulder issues in recent years, derailing a once promising career. The Rockies, Cubs, and Pirates have shown varying levels of interest in Bonderman this offseason. 

MLBTR's Luke Adams identified Bonderman as a pitcher that could benefit from a move to the National League.  He appears in line for a one-year deal.

    ugh no thanks. Would rather have Jeff Francis if we “have” to have any pitcher still left on the FA market.

        He’s still got a very good slider and a decent splitter, but he’s re-learning how to pitch without 95-97 mph. Fierce competitor, hates to lose. High upside guy, and he’ll eat up innings.

      Indeed, aren’t we a little late in the offseason for players looking for one year deals to be signed at that kind of money? Aren’t teams pretty much looking to go bargain shopping now? Shift to buyers market and all…

      I think this offseason has progressed a little more rapidly then others, but maybe that’s because my team is essentially done with their big moves (save Pujols).

    I still see no problem with Jeff Francis. I’m sure the yanks would rather have a left-hander instead of Bonderman. I think the Yanks are going to bring in more then just one “injury” or attempting to rebound guy to compete for a rotation spot. I see Bonderman, Francis, and Garcia beign those guys

    much rather get Francis or Garcia than Bonderman. I’ll take whichever ones accept minimum though, and have them compete with Mitre and Nova for spots in the rotation.

    Well. He’s more promising than Mitre.

    Please just let Nova and Joba go in the rotation, they can both pitch as well as Bonderman.

      The only way Joba goes back to the rotation is if the Yanks sign someone else for the bullpen that can be considered reliable. And even then, imo he won’t be able to last the whole year, as he’d need to adjust back into being a starter again.

        They have enough guys in the minors to put one in the pen, or they could sign someone. Even if he can’t last the whole year, let him go 160-175 innings, and the put him in the pen for the playoffs. But seriously Joba would out perform all of Bonderman, Mitre, Nova, Phelps, and Noesi.

            Even though most of these guys are starters, they could all be put in the pen and be a big part of the bullpen. Much like Joba was when he came up.

              Because that just worked out so well for Joba.

              I don’t forsee the Yanks trying to convert another starter into a reliever. That messed Joba up, who was supposed to be a solid #3, #4 starter. I doubt they’ll take that risk again.

    Bonderman has the potential to be a good 3-4 pitcher. He was getting ready to take his game to a higher level when thoracic outlet syndrome derailed his career. Last year was his first year back from the injury and he had mixed results. His ERA was just under 4.00 over halfway through the year with his velocity being down and it skyrocketed towards the end of the year which I attribute to being his first heavy workload in a few years. If his velocity returns a little, which it showed signs of possibly doing, he could be a good pitcher again. But in all likelihood his velocity will stay down but he showed that his bulldog mentallity will win games nomatter what. An 8-10 record despite his 5.53 ERA shows he still has a gamer mentality. I’d give him one year, maybe two, to see if he can pitch with reduced velocity or to see if it comes back. He is only 28 and while I hate the Yankees his tenacity might not be a bad thing for them.
